Cadbury's have the Dairy Milk and Nestlé have the Kit-Kat. That's how it has always been.

But now the tides could be turning in a way we never could have imagined. Next time you're in need of some four-fingered chocolate and wafer goodness at an unspecified mid-morning interval, you might have a strange new thing called choice.
